Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
4 large eggs separated
2 cups flour, all-purpose sifted
3/4 teaspoons salt
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 cup walnuts chopped fine

Directions

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks all at once. Add vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together. Set aside 1 cup of the dry ingredients. Add the remaining flour mixture and the milk in small portions, alternately, mixing well with each addition, starting and ending with an addition of the dry ingredients. Mix together, the reserved flour and the nuts, and stir into the batter, mixing just until blended. Beat the egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Fold them into the batter.

Bake in a 9x5 greased and floured loaf pan, or 3 quart mold at 350F about 50-60 minutes, or until done.

Frost with your favorite icing.

Red's Barbecued Brisket

This is THE brisket recipe. Melt in your mouth tender, and full of flavor. Well worth the time and lack of sleep. The only changes I made, I used two smaller briskets, one 6 lb. and one 5 lb. and on the 5 pounder I wrapped it in foil after just 8 hours but cooked it the full time. It was just a bit more tender. The people who ate them are clamoring for more, and those who were not at the barbecue are asking when will I be doing this again. Soon, very Soon.
